MEDIA BAKERYAMERICA HAS NOT SEEN a large-scale terrorist attack sinceSeptember 11, 2001. We have adopted many measures to stepup intelligence and security, including creating the Departmentof Homeland Security, enhancing airport screenings and pass-ing the Patriot Act. But critics warn that despite these stepsmany areas still aren’t properly protected, making us just asvulnerable as before the 9/11 attacks.
